Vance & Aubrie's guest bathroom showcased an era gone by. The centerpiece was an old vanity, wrapped in dated tile. They reached out to us to help achieve their goal of creating a beautiful and welcoming space for their guests.
They selected a new Kohler Archer tub to replace the outdated bathtub, pairing it with stylish Volakas Porcelain tile. For the wall niche, the Iceberg Blend Herringbone Mosaic adds a sophisticated contrast that compliments their new flooring, also installed in a herringbone pattern.
The decision to install a new Kohler Cimarron toilet and added a wall cabinet above it addressing the practical storage needs.
The lighting and vanity area was uninspiring, doing little to make the space welcoming or functional for guests. Vance and Aubrie went with Waypoint Painted Linen cabinetry, topped with a Forte Quartz countertop. Vilamonte bathroom faucets were chosen for their contemporary design and fantastic pairing with the Jeffrey Alexander Boswell cabinet handles.
The rectangular metal framed mirrors and Mencino black steel lights brought the whole design together, creating an inviting and elegant space.
Now, stepping into Vance & Aubrie's guest bathroom feels like entering a different world. The blend of modern fixtures, elegant finishes, and thoughtful details has created a space that's not only visually stunning but also highly functional.

The layout integrates seamlessly with the adjacent glass-enclosed shower, providing a practical and comfortable bathroom environment while maintaining a minimal and modern design approach.

For this project, the goals were straight forward - a low energy, low maintenance home that would allow the "60 something couple” time and money to enjoy all their interests. Accessibility was also important since this is likely their last home. In the end the style is minimalist, but the raw, natural materials add texture that give the home a warm, inviting feeling.
The home has R-67.5 walls, R-90 in the attic, is extremely air tight (0.4 ACH) and is oriented to work with the sun throughout the year. As a result, operating costs of the home are minimal. The HVAC systems were chosen to work efficiently, but not to be complicated. They were designed to perform to the highest standards, but be simple enough for the owners to understand and manage.
The owners spend a lot of time camping and traveling and wanted the home to capture the same feeling of freedom that the outdoors offers. The spaces are practical, easy to keep clean and designed to create a free flowing space that opens up to nature beyond the large triple glazed Passive House windows. Built-in cubbies and shelving help keep everything organized and there is no wasted space in the house - Enough space for yoga, visiting family, relaxing, sculling boats and two home offices.
The most frequent comment of visitors is how relaxed they feel. This is a result of the unique connection to nature, the abundance of natural materials, great air quality, and the play of light throughout the house.
The exterior of the house is simple, but a striking reflection of the local farming environment. The materials are low maintenance, as is the landscaping. The siting of the home combined with the natural landscaping gives privacy and encourages the residents to feel close to local flora and fauna.

This Los Angeles bathroom renovation was designed to create a clean, modern retreat with an emphasis on openness, premium materials, and long-term functionality.
The homeowner wanted a bathroom that felt bright, spacious, and easy to maintain while delivering a luxury hotel experience every day. To achieve this, we combined large-format porcelain tile, frameless tempered glass shower enclosures, and carefully selected hardware finishes to create a timeless, elegant look.
The project features multiple custom shower configurations, including a spacious walk-in shower with a brushed gold sliding shower door, a matte black frameless enclosure, and a frosted bypass tub door designed for privacy without sacrificing natural light. Each enclosure was custom-fitted to maximize usable space while maintaining clean sightlines throughout the room.
Premium 3/8” tempered safety glass provides durability and a seamless appearance, while the minimalist hardware complements a variety of interior styles—from contemporary to transitional. The brushed gold hardware adds warmth against dramatic marble-look walls, while the matte black finish creates a bold architectural statement in lighter spaces.
Beyond aesthetics, every detail was selected with everyday living in mind:
* Custom-sized frameless glass shower enclosures
* Heavy-duty tempered safety glass
* Smooth, quiet sliding door system
* Premium stainless steel hardware
* Easy-clean glass coating for simplified maintenance
* Minimalist design that enhances natural light and visual openness
The result is a collection of bathrooms that balances luxury, practicality, and lasting performance. Whether it’s a spacious primary suite or a compact guest bathroom, each installation demonstrates how custom glass solutions can transform the overall feel of a space.

Once upon a time, this bathroom featured the following:
No entry door, with a master tub and vanities open to the master bedroom.
Fading, outdated, 80's-style yellow oak cabinetry.
A bulky hexagonal window with clear glass. No privacy.
A carpeted floor. In a bathroom.
It’s safe to say that none of these features were appreciated by our clients. Understandably.
We knew we could help.
We changed the layout. The tub and the double shower are now enclosed behind frameless glass, a very practical and beautiful arrangement. The clean linear grain cabinetry in medium tone is accented beautifully by white countertops and stainless steel accessories. New lights, beautiful tile and glass mosaic bring this space into the 21st century.
End result: a calm, light, modern bathroom for our client to enjoy.

Dark and lacking functionality, this hard working hall bathroom in Great Falls, VA had to accommodate the needs of both a teenage boy and girl. Custom cabinetry, new flooring with underlayment heat, all new bathroom fixtures and additional lighting make this a bright and practical space. Exquisite blue arabesque tiles, crystal adornments on the lighting and faucets help bring this utilitarian space to an elegant room. Designed by Laura Hildebrandt of Interiors By LH, LLC.

The Home
Nestled in Jackson Ranch, Thurston House welcomes you to experience the solace and comfort of this warm and peaceful home.
As you step past the barnwood accented exterior, you enter a refined rustic interior with a barnwood wall and century-old beams
gracing the great room. Durable, luxury, vinyl, tile flooring leads you further in, past a front office with ample sunlight.

Steps away from the kitchen, the master bedroom envelops you, providing those awe-inspiring views, while balancing privacy in the pines.
Whether you seek to entertain or to escape, the downstairs of Thurston House delivers. The stairs open to a lounge, complete with a

Enhancing the functionality and aesthetics of built-in units can be achieved by thoughtfully incorporating accessories.
Consider adding adjustable shelving to accommodate items of varying heights, maximizing storage potential. Incorporating built-in lighting can create a visually appealing ambiance and highlight displayed items. Drawer organizers and dividers help maintain order, ensuring that every item has its designated place.
Additionally, incorporating decorative hardware such as stylish handles or knobs can impart a personalized touch. For entertainment units, cable management systems contribute to a clean and organized appearance.
Whether it's baskets, bins, or pull-out trays, accessorizing built-in units not only elevates their practicality but also allows for a customized and well-organized space that aligns with both form and function.

Surrounding the island, custom white shaker cabinetry extends to the ceiling, maximizing storage while maintaining a timeless aesthetic.

Warm brushed brass hardware and fixtures bring a sophisticated contrast against the bright cabinetry and help tie the entire space together.
A clean herringbone tile backsplash runs throughout the perimeter cabinetry and preparation areas, providing subtle texture while complementing the neutral color palette. Under-cabinet lighting highlights the pattern and enhances the warm glow of the display cabinets above.
Large windows above the sink fill the kitchen with natural light, while a series of elegant gold geometric pendant lights above the island introduce a modern focal point that balances the traditional cabinetry.

Modern Citi Group helped Paul remodel his newly purchased apartment in a prime Upper East Side location. This exciting renovation project included renovation of the kitchen and dining room, bathroom, living room and bedroom.
Our design team faced the challenge of balancing modern and classic aesthetics with a strict budget. After exploring multiple design options and visualizations, Paul chose a design that best suited his vision.
The construction team masterfully brought the vision to life, fully remodeling each room in the apartment while preserving and revitalizing select original fixtures.
The kitchen underwent a significant transformation with a reconfigured layout, featuring an additional wall of cabinets along the window wall and a wet bar in the dining room that seamlessly extended the kitchen’s footprint. These updates enhanced storage capacity, improved ergonomic functionality, and elevated the overall aesthetic.
In the bedroom, the layout was redesigned to include an extra-tall closet, while the existing closet was repurposed to house a washer and dryer accessible from the hallway.
The kitchen was outfitted with solid wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a durable porcelain tile floor.
The bathroom was reimagined with luxurious new tiling, contemporary fixtures, and upgraded plumbing and lighting. A spacious double vanity was added, providing ample storage, alongside an elegant alcove bath-shower combination.
Throughout the apartment, our team refinished the floors, walls, and ceilings, upgraded plumbing and electrical systems, and installed additional lighting and closet organization. These updates optimized the flow and functionality of the space.
In just a few months, Modern Citi Group transformed an outdated apartment into a stunning, functional home. The remodel perfectly blends style, comfort, and practicality, reflecting the refined character of its prime Upper East Side location.

This kitchen cabinet installation project in Lancaster, MA features a clean and slightly more refined kitchen upgrade designed to improve both appearance and everyday functionality. The home already had good potential, but the kitchen needed a more updated cabinet layout, improved storage, and a brighter, more polished finish.
The project began with careful preparation and demolition of the existing kitchen cabinets. Our team protected the surrounding floors and work areas before removing the older cabinetry and preparing the space for the new installation. The goal was to keep the kitchen practical and comfortable while giving it a more upscale and finished appearance.
As the renovation progressed, new cabinets were installed with attention to alignment, spacing, and detail. The design focused on a balanced look with clean cabinet lines, improved storage, and a more modern feel without making the space overly extravagant. This approach helped create a kitchen that feels updated, functional, and appropriate for the home.
Once the cabinets were fully installed, the final details were completed and the kitchen was cleaned and staged. The finished space feels brighter, more organized, and more inviting while still maintaining a comfortable New England home style.
Projects like this show how a well-planned kitchen cabinet installation can completely refresh the heart of the home. With the right layout, clean finishes, and quality craftsmanship, a kitchen can feel more valuable, functional, and enjoyable for everyday living.
